Out of these 2 Canon produces exceptionally good clarity as compared to Nikon. even if the specs of Nikon are high, the compact digital camera from Canon impressed me.

My vote goes for Canon IXUS 230HS. But try to find reviews on canon hx230hs . It's a great camera with manual modes which will suit for all occasions. Rest is for you to decide.

Sujoy, It's not that much... It priced 15k...

Magy, Why comparing megazoom with the compact. Between those two I would go for Canon IXUS 230. If you fancy to learn photography, you could get a camera with which you can learn and of course that will fit your budget.
Canon SX220
Canon SX230
Sony HX9V
All these cameras are priced around 15k. Check these too if you are ok with manual controls.

SX220 and SX230 are stopped. If you can find it in the store, grab it. SX220 would do good. Suggestion of L810 would be because of its zoom. What's the need of another new thread?

No, they are using AA size batteries (4nos). They are heavy, Canon is much better, you can get SX220. There are many ebay sellers have stock. If you don't trust ebay sellers, you can try jjmehta.

You are from Chennai right?

Cameraciti (opp. Chola) have stock, Sheetala have stock.

First call them and make sure that they have stock then visit. If these don't have, try KMS digital Camera Palace.

And finally you can try with Canon dealers. Follow this link and get the contacts of the dealers. There are plenty.
Sales Network - Canon India - Business

Don't go in person to get to know whether they have stock or not. Call and confirm that they have stock, then you can visit.

No, Sujoy. In specification everything seems to be good except OIS. But image quality of Canon is far far far better than Fuji. You should check it in digitalversus.

Magi, I am sure you will get it.

I guess, its because of

* Manual ring-type zoom
* RAW
* They should "loooove to use AA batteries"
